Pelvic floor muscle exercise apparatus

Abstract

A pelvic floor muscle exercise machine according to the present invention comprises: a waist belt fixed to a user's waist; a support belt fixed to the waist belt; and an insertion device provided on the support belt. The insertion device comprises: an insertion part inserted into and extracted from the user's vagina; a rod extending from the insertion portion, penetrated by the support belt so as to be slidable; and guiding the movement of the insertion part; and an elastic member supported by the rod, and providing elastic restoring force to the insertion part by elastically transforming in accordance with the relative movement of the insertion part with respect to the support belt.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pelvic floor muscle exercise machine comprising:
 a waist belt fixed to a user's waist;   a support belt fixed to the waist belt; and   an insertion device provided on the support belt,   wherein the insertion device comprises:   insertion parts inserted into and escaping from the user's vagina;   a rod extending from the insertion parts, slidably passing through the support belt, and thus guiding the movements of the insertion parts;   an elastic member supported by the rod and elastically deformed by the relative movements of the insertion parts with respect to the support belt to provide an elastic restoring force to the insertion parts; and   a slot passing through the insertion parts and allowing the support belt to be located at the inside thereof,   wherein the rod and the elastic member are located inside the slot.   
     
     
         2 . The pelvic floor muscle exercise machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the insertion device further comprises a guide holder disposed on the support belt, the guide holder comprising a rod guide adapted to insert the rod thereinto and guide the movement of the rod and an insertion part guide protruding radially from the outer peripheral surface of the rod guide, supporting the inner peripheral surfaces of the insertion parts forming the slot, and guiding the movements of the insertion parts. 
     
     
         3 . The pelvic floor muscle exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising a mounting stand located under the support belt to support the support belt thereagainst, the mounting stand comprising a support plate grasped by the user or seated on an installation surface, a pulling strap pulled by the user and having one end fixed to the underside of the insertion parts, and a strap locker formed on the support plate to lock the pulling strap thereonto, whereby when the other end of the pulling strap is pulled by the user, the pulling strap pulls the insertion parts downward. 
     
     
         4 . The pelvic floor muscle exercise machine according to  claim 3 , further comprising an elastic ring configured to allow the other end of the pulling strap to be fixed to top thereof, while allowing the left and right sides thereof to be pressurized against the user's thighs, whereby when the elastic ring is elastically deformed by the user, the other end of the pulling strap is pulled so that the pulling strap pulls the insertion parts downward. 
     
     
         5 . The pelvic floor muscle exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising an abdominal pressure belt adapted to surround the user's abdomen and waist and thus raise the user's abdominal pressure.
